No A/ifei This Time
Once again we come to the time of year when Congress
takes up consideration of the federal budget for the next
year, in tjhis case fiscal '54 starting next July X
For a number of years many members of Cbngress have
odch year, when the budget was being considered, spoken Bit
considerable length on the floor, over the airways and from
the platform, concerning the absolute necessity for a drastic reduction in federal spending. Then each year after all
the appropriation bills were passed, the bureaucratte had
more of your money to spend foolishly ... to thriow away
that is . . .. than they had the year before.
When the votes are a' matter of record, one wonders
how these economy-talking, bigger-spending-voting members of Congress can justify the way they vote, with 'wlhat
they have said? '
Every other year they have passed the buck saying,
with a President in tihe White House who sponsors more and
more federal spending, how could they cut the budget?
This year they n6 longer have that alibi, no matter
what it has been worth in the past . . . for now we have
a President who is definitely on record, riot once but many
times, in favor of economy for all branches of the entire
federal establishment. Also a large majority of the mem-Ifor the~March of Dimes,
bers of Uie -33rd Congress, Were elected on "an economy pl-at=! aife Scor* DeMNo.-^Paek 42
form. So, there are, or should be enough economy votes in
Congress to assure a drastic reduction in the '54 budget.
etna, this year the cooperation of the President and his
cai- net is assured. So it would seem that the stage is all
set -and that the desired reduction will be forthcoming.
' Vraay be that I'm too much of a 'doubting Thomas'
but I'm not at all sure that the economy members of Congress actually have the courage of their convictions; tihat
they,* will be able to withstand heavy pressure from bur<
crats and from all kinds of special interest groups not to cut
_ Tne Mother's March on Polio here in North Oanton collected nearly $2,000 for the
Polio fund, and with the
school cards and the iron
lung collections it went
well over that mark here in
the North Canton Area alone.
Mr. Weidman, chairman of
■this area and Mrs. Pfouts district Chairman of this area have
expressed their gratitude to all
who helped them so graciously
to make this campaign successful.
The grand total for Canton
and the'rural areas surrounding
it was announced as 526,640 Saturday by Leo Berger, county
.chairman, and for the county as
$39,039. That figure we know.will
have tfco be"- revised as many
more contributions have been
picked up since 'that time. A
little confusion on the part of
people as to the time to have
their porch light on and also in
rural areas some places were
missed through misunderstanding of whose -.territory it was,
anyone who has, been missed and
wished to! lend tiheir aid to this
great work should call 91656 and
someone will call for your contribution.
During the hour the volunteers
were out co-Heating, two little
stories came to light which we
share with you here.
Last summer, Zoe Sweaney of
North Royer Street, a Fifth
Grade pupil in North Canton
School, held a carnival in ,her
back yard. The money she collected from it, the entire $5.40
in pennies, dimes and nickels,
were turned over to the March
of Dimes. On Thursday night
when the lady from the March
of Dimes came up the step, there
was Zoe waiting eagerly, with
the entire sum just as she had
received it, waiting to give it
to help those who have been
struck down with that dread
!d'isease, Polio.
Then another one of the women learned that an entire Cub
pack had given up itheir regular
meeting and were out collecting

thejf will be able to withstand heavy pressure from bureau
crafe and from all kinds of special interest groups not to cu1
this, that or the other appropriation. Only time will tell on
this.
'" However, anyone who is interested in lower taxes and
less. lonxeaucratic interference in his daily life, will be very
foolish if they sit back and wait to see what's going to happen. On the contrary tjhis is the time of all times for each
and everyone of us to be more active than he has ever been
before. This is the "first time in twenty years that the
cards have not been stacked against those of us who believe
that the size and cost of our federal government needs to be
greatjly reducedi. Let's make the most of our opportunity.
Let's lay a barrage of letters and telegrams on our
representatives in. Congress — Representative Frank Bow
from our district and both Senator Taft land Senator Bender of Ohio; demanding a drastic reduction in the '54 budget,
that we will create what amounts to an irresistible force.
Y'ou can be sure that the special intjerest boys are working twenty-four hours a day, each' doing his utmost to protect his seat on the federal gravy train, but those .of us on
the other side can bury these fellows and the groups they
represent under such an avalanche that they'll- never be
able to dig their way out. We can if we will.
If each of us wants our taxes cut, badly enough, we will
sit down and write to those who represent us in Congress,
and the outcome will never be in. doubt.
.-, How About YOU?
You Can't Eat Taxes, But
Ypu can't eat taxes . . . You can't wear taxes! But, you
must pay more for taxes than you do for fotod and clothing
combined!
In 1951, total federal, state and local taxes, direct and
hidden, amounted to $84,600,000,000). In the same year
total food and clothing purchases added up to $81 billion
dollars. ,
We have reached the point where the tax burden is the
largest single item-of expense to. millions of American families. Many of us haven't as yet realized this for the reason
that a substantial part of all taxes are paid indirectly—that
is, tihey are part of the price we pay for an automobile or
a loaf of bread or a pair of shoes or a ticket to the shovft
But we pay the full bill just the same — whether the tax
money is handed over directly to some tax-collecting agency,
or whetiher it is concealed in the cost of goods and services.
It is generally believed that the danger point to a nation's strength and vigor is reached when; taxes account for
25 per cent of the national income. Our Maxes have left
that figure far behind — about 33 percent of the national
income goes for taxes. And no one should be foolish
enough to still believe that we can pay tihe tax bill by soaking the richj. If we took 100 per cent of the incomes of the
rich it would pay the cost of government for only' a few
weeks out of *he year. .

Following the publication
of the last Board of Education minutes, wherein

some teachers at the North
Canton Grade School,
making the children settle
little differences on/ a

near the football practice
field, Roger Bishop, prin-
cipal of the Grade School
stated that it was not the
policy of the school and he
had known nothing about
it.
• He promised to investigate the matter and see
mat a stop was put to the
practice.
We hope that this will be
carried out, however if any
child is forced from now
on, to battle against his will

Nancy is elected Prom Queen.
Stephan was to be her escort—
and then Stephan arrived, to take
her to the dance. He had rented
a dinner jacket - but it does't
fit - she can't possibly go with
him - but she has to make a

Red Cross has undertaken a
dramatic expansion of its blood
collections to make available for
prevention of paralysis irom
polio all the gamma globulin
that can be Obtained from present limited processing fa-cili -
ties.
One dose of the serum, 'Which
requires about one,pint of blood
to produce, protects against the
paralyzing effect of polio lor
about a one to five-week period.
During the past year, experi-
, ments were conducted underthe
sponsorship of the National
, Foundation for Infantile PaifaJy-
'sis with blood donated without
charge by the Red Cross.
Last December, the Office' of
Defense Mobilization asked the
Red Cross to expand its Iblood
collections 'to produce as much
gamma globulin as blood' processing laboratories can .turn
out. Past experience indicates
that polio in 1953 will reach
epidemic proportions' in about
150 counties in the U.S. and that
some 2,000,000 children may be
exposed to it.
This vital program is only one
phase of operation of the local
Chapter of the Red .Cross, however. The Red Cross Blood' Program, which produced about
3,777 pints of blood through the
Canton Chapter last year for use
in the Armed Services and .in
'military hospitals, will continue
to be one of the major functions
of the local chapter.
Veterans and Home Service,
operating on a 24-ihour basis for

for individual and community
catastropihies.

more contributions have been

little confusion on the part of

During the hour the volunteers
were out co-Heating, two little
stories came to light which we
share with you here.
Last summer, Zoe Sweaney of
North Royer Street, a Fifth
Grade pupil in North Canton
School, held a carnival in ,her
back yard. The money she collected from it, the entire $5.40
in pennies, dimes and nickels,
were turned over to the March
of Dimes. On Thursday night
when the lady from the March
of Dimes came up the step, there
was Zoe waiting eagerly, with
the entire sum just as she had
received it, waiting to give it
to help those who have been
struck down with that dread
!d'isease, Polio.
Then another one of the women learned that an entire Cub
pack had given up itheir regular
meeting and were out collecting

thejf will be able to withstand heavy pressure from bureau
crafe and from all kinds of special interest groups not to cu1
this, that or the other appropriation. Only time will tell on
this.
'" However, anyone who is interested in lower taxes and
less. lonxeaucratic interference in his daily life, will be very
foolish if they sit back and wait to see what's going to happen. On the contrary tjhis is the time of all times for each
and everyone of us to be more active than he has ever been
before. This is the "first time in twenty years that the
cards have not been stacked against those of us who believe
that the size and cost of our federal government needs to be
greatjly reducedi. Let's make the most of our opportunity.
Let's lay a barrage of letters and telegrams on our
representatives in. Congress — Representative Frank Bow
from our district and both Senator Taft land Senator Bender of Ohio; demanding a drastic reduction in the '54 budget,
that we will create what amounts to an irresistible force.
Y'ou can be sure that the special intjerest boys are working twenty-four hours a day, each' doing his utmost to protect his seat on the federal gravy train, but those .of us on
the other side can bury these fellows and the groups they
represent under such an avalanche that they'll- never be
able to dig their way out. We can if we will.
If each of us wants our taxes cut, badly enough, we will
sit down and write to those who represent us in Congress,
and the outcome will never be in. doubt.
.-, How About YOU?
You Can't Eat Taxes, But
Ypu can't eat taxes . . . You can't wear taxes! But, you
must pay more for taxes than you do for fotod and clothing
combined!
In 1951, total federal, state and local taxes, direct and
hidden, amounted to $84,600,000,000). In the same year
total food and clothing purchases added up to $81 billion
dollars. ,
We have reached the point where the tax burden is the
largest single item-of expense to. millions of American families. Many of us haven't as yet realized this for the reason
that a substantial part of all taxes are paid indirectly—that
is, tihey are part of the price we pay for an automobile or
a loaf of bread or a pair of shoes or a ticket to the shovft
But we pay the full bill just the same — whether the tax
money is handed over directly to some tax-collecting agency,
or whetiher it is concealed in the cost of goods and services.
It is generally believed that the danger point to a nation's strength and vigor is reached when; taxes account for
25 per cent of the national income. Our Maxes have left
that figure far behind — about 33 percent of the national
income goes for taxes. And no one should be foolish
enough to still believe that we can pay tihe tax bill by soaking the richj. If we took 100 per cent of the incomes of the
rich it would pay the cost of government for only' a few
weeks out of *he year. .

Forced Fighting
Not Policy of

Following the publication
of the last Board of Education minutes, wherein
was the complaint by parents, against the policy of
some teachers at the North
Canton Grade School,
making the children settle
little differences on/ a
'fighting place' located
near the football practice
field, Roger Bishop, prin-
cipal of the Grade School
stated that it was not the
policy of the school and he
had known nothing about
it.
• He promised to investigate the matter and see
mat a stop was put to the
practice.
We hope that this will be
carried out, however if any
child is forced from now
on, to battle against his will
on any 'fighting spot,'
whether outside the school
or on the gym floor, we
ask that the parents, bring

his right arm to go with her?
Nancy is elected Prom Queen.
Stephan was to be her escort—
and then Stephan arrived, to take
her to the dance. He had rented
a dinner jacket - but it does't
fit - she can't possibly go with
him - but she has to make a
decision . and at once. Her decision makes the final scene one

Red Cross has undertaken a
dramatic expansion of its blood
collections to make available for
prevention of paralysis irom
polio all the gamma globulin
that can be Obtained from present limited processing fa-cili -
ties.
One dose of the serum, 'Which
requires about one,pint of blood
to produce, protects against the
paralyzing effect of polio lor
about a one to five-week period.
During the past year, experi-
, ments were conducted underthe
sponsorship of the National
, Foundation for Infantile PaifaJy-
'sis with blood donated without
charge by the Red Cross.
Last December, the Office' of
Defense Mobilization asked the
Red Cross to expand its Iblood
collections 'to produce as much
gamma globulin as blood' processing laboratories can .turn
out. Past experience indicates
that polio in 1953 will reach
epidemic proportions' in about
150 counties in the U.S. and that
some 2,000,000 children may be
exposed to it.
This vital program is only one
phase of operation of the local
Chapter of the Red .Cross, however. The Red Cross Blood' Program, which produced about
3,777 pints of blood through the
Canton Chapter last year for use
in the Armed Services and .in
'military hospitals, will continue
to be one of the major functions
of the local chapter.
Veterans and Home Service,
operating on a 24-ihour basis for
servicemen and veterans' provides emergency financial assistance, emergency communication service, consultation on personal problems and assistance

clothing on the basis of need
for individual and community
catastropihies.
First Aid Courses teach emergency care in case of accident
or sudden illness to those in
junior, standard and advanced
first aid classes.
Water Safety teaches thousands cf youngsters to swim and
